catherine and andrew

This is a commission piece for a family here in Birmingham. It is 3 x 3' so I included another picture to help visualize the scale. Catherine and Andrew's mom was born and raised in eastern Tennessee. The family spends a lot of time there so we chose to have the kids running through a field that looked reminiscent of this area. I happen to be very familiar with this beautiful area because my husband's mom and many family live there. I feel blessed that my kids got to spend lots of time playing on the farm in White Pine, TN. Nothing quite like the rolling green hills and Smoky Mountains in the distance. sold

I still have space in my September workshop. We are going to be concentrating on bringing light and life into your paintings when using photos. Discussing interesting composition, brushwork and color. Email me with questions! carolcarmike@att.net

About Me

Hi, I am Carol Morgan Carmichael and I live in Vestavia Hills, Alabama with my husband Dan.I have always loved drawing and have translated that into a love of oil painting after working with some great teachers.
I graduated from Birmingham Southern College with a degree in art education. I taught art at Homewood High School for four years and then retired to raise twin sons. Another son came along two years later.
My subject matter is all over the board. I enjoy painting still life, animals, figuratives, and beach scenes. I use oil paint because of its buttery consistency and forgiving nature. You can't beat the luminosity of the finished product.
I am definitely a work in progress. If you are interested in my work, contact me by e mail at carolcarmike@att.net.
